What are the last nine festivals?

The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional festival for Tibetans in mountainous areas of Jin Jia. On the ninth day of the first month of each year, Tibetan compatriots will hold various lantern festivals at the foot of Jin Jia Mountain, and perform traditional programs such as lion dance and dragon dance. In the sea of lanterns, people's laughter pushed the festive atmosphere to a climax. At this time, people can see unique acrobatics such as men's and women's wrestling, stilts and "swan holding eggs"

Shangyuan Festival is a traditional festival for Tibetans in mountainous areas of Jin Jia. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Tibetan compatriots hold various Lantern Festival in the mountainous areas of Jin Jia and perform traditional programs, such as lion and dragon dances. At that time, people will come to the venue from the ravines in all directions and jump all the way. In festivals, there are generally dragon lanterns, ox lanterns and lion lanterns. The cow lamp is called Jiro herding cattle-two masked boys are driving a well-dressed cow lamp, teasing while playing, and singing folk songs in Jia Rong Tibetan. "Jiro" is a cowherd who cultivates the fields.

In the last nine festivals, there are acrobatic performances, such as "A lion crossing a tree", "Taking treasure from the air", "Jiro lifting mountains to catch the sun" and "Swan incubating eggs". "Swan Incubation" consists of four square tables, on which a roll of summer sleeping mat dryer stands upright. A large dustpan is placed on the top of the cylinder. Masked performers turn the stacked square tables upside down and enter from the bottom of the drying cylinder of the mat. Their hands and feet move up along the wall, take out the dustpan from the top of the upper opening and put it under their feet. The performer performed a basic handstand in the dustpan and performed a wonderful performance of "Swan Incubating Eggs".

As an important festival in the mountainous area of Jin Jia, Tibetan people express their understanding of society and attitude towards new things in the form of singing and dancing. Therefore, in recent years, the first nine festivals have been integrated into disco, pop songs and other new contents, and gradually developed into cultural celebration days for Tibetans in Jin Jia mountainous areas.
